The Arkansaw traveler., 1887-09-17

The french army has lost the day For the last three hours the soldiers crossed the village of Chaille. The retreat had commenced. Cannon, baggage, infantry. cavalry, all were mixed together. The officers tried no more to bring order and regularity among their men, or to stop their dis aster.
 Towards the evening the retreat had become q helter- skelter, the van- quished decreased in number, few cavalry men and then-nothing.
 But in the last rays of the sun the people of the village saw dozen of soldiers coming on the road. From time to time they turned around and fired shots at the enemy.
 Far off, a black spot, then two, then twenty, then hundred, detached themselves on the line of the majestic trees.
 These black spots were the Ger mans!
 Arriving ill the village, that dozen of soldiers forming the rear guard was what was left of the rear guard of the army of La Loire; they stopped.
 The captain who had commanded them had chosen a good position be- tween two big houses.
 "Hurry up, boys," said he to his men; i've will erect barricade here. 1t shall not be said that those sauer- kraut eaters have entered this village as in church. Burst open the doors, fit is necessary, and once more hurry up."
 That captain had the tone firm, and his face expressed Anger and determin- ation; his men, old African zouaves and Turcos, enraged fighters, were not apprentices in the art of building bar ricades. In less than quarter of an hour the street was made impossible by cars of manure, mattresses, doors, shutters, in fact, everything bulky was employed for that purpose.
 The captain, who had picked up q gun on the battlefield, was reloading it when tall man with pale face approached him.
 "Excuse me, captain, are you the officer in commando"
 "Yes."
 "Believe me, sir, renounce to defend this village against an enemy twenty times, one hundred times more num- erous than you are. You shall not be successful, of course, and you will cause our village to be set on fire by the Germans"
 The captain looked at his interlocu- tor with an immense expression of disgust.
 "What do you say? Will you go away mighty quick, or else I shall send you to-"
 And the captain took the man by the neck and was in way to strangle him, when tall old man with white hair emerged from house near by.
 "Let him go, captain, he is not worth the strangulation. My name is Pierre and I am vine dresser" said the old man addressing the officer. Then, turning to the coward, he added: "Go to your home, monsieur the mayor; if you arc unwilling to do your duty, at least do net prevent others to accomplish it. You see. captain, that mayor Is a monsieur from the city, sent to us by the impe- rial government all his fortune is in this village, in which he owns several buildings, and if the Germans set them on fire he shall be ruined. am myself in tue same case; if my cabin is destroyed 1 do not know what will remain for my granddaughter Jacque- ine But what do yOu want sir9 France, our country, before any, thing"
 The captain was touched, and re- moving his cap he said to the patriot ::
 "You are brave man and God bless you.n
 "And an old soldier" replied the

The Yankee Yacht Wins.

New YORK, September 2s.-In the in.
t%ernational yacht race yesterday the Yam
kee yacht, Volunteer, defeated the
Scotch yacht Thistle by 10 minutes and
"a seconds. The weather was favorable,
especially for the Scotch which has al
ways done her best work in light wind
such as prevailed to-day. james Bell
principal owner of the Thistle said he was
not at all satisfied with the result and that
the Thistle had never moved so slowly
through the water. He was OF opinion
that something was wrong with her hull.
He will take her out of the water to-mor-
row and examine her thoroughly. He
did not consider that the race had been
siiled, for that reason and on account OF
the shifting winds, he held that the ex-
cursion boats that followed the race inter
fered with the movements of the Thistle
The Americans are jubilant.
